5 Maintenance
5.1 Introduction
Operational readiness and the service life of machines are heavily dependent on
maintenance.
It is therefore in the interest of the machine owner to perform the prescribed maintenance
work.
Before performing service and maintenance work, always read, understand and follow the
instructions given in:
• Chapter 2 “SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS” of this Operator's Manual
Perform the prescribed inspections and rectify any disorders before putting the machine
into operation.
Secure open (engine) covers appropriately. Do not open (engine) covers on slopes or in
strong wind.
When using compressed air, dirt and debris may be blown into your face. Therefore, wear
protective glasses, masks and clothing when using compressed air.
Daily service and maintenance work and maintenance according to maintenance plan “A”
must be performed by a specifically trained operator. All other maintenance work must be
performed by trained and qualified staff only.
The maintenance plans indicate when the maintenance work mentioned below must be
performed – see Maintenance plan (overview) on page 5-35.
